Real Madrid Confidencial Maffeo celebrates the point too early and gets hit with 'zingers'
The RCD Mallorca full-back is once again the subject of jokes among Madridists
Although Real Madrid had little at stake against Mallorca, the match offered an exciting and suspenseful victory. Before Jacobo Ramón's goal, Pablo Maffeo, one of the footballers most criticized by the local fans, celebrated the tie that never was in front of the Madridist audience. A gesture that Real Madrid fans now see with a smile on their faces.
Real Madrid's dominance was relentless throughout the match: they made 39 shots, took 26 corners. The tie came in the 68th minute thanks to Kylian Mbappé, but Mallorca didn't give up and was very close to taking the lead again in the next play. However, the best was reserved for the last seconds.
Pablo Maffeo and his premature celebration
In the midst of a tense atmosphere, Pablo Maffeo, Mallorca's full-back, starred in one of the most notable scenes of the match. After a firm clearance in the final minutes, the player didn't hesitate to turn to the local fans and celebrate his action. He waved his arms, celebrating spoiling LaLiga for Real Madrid in their own stadium, once again revealing his anti-Madrid sentiment.
However, soccer, unpredictable and sometimes cruel, had a surprising ending in store. Just seconds after Pablo Maffeo's celebration, following a desperate cross, Vallejo managed to deflect the ball with a header into the area. It was then that Jacobo Ramón, a defender from Real Madrid's youth academy, appeared to score.
The Bernabéu was filled with overflowing joy, while Mallorca's players fell to the grass, stunned by what had happened. Among them was Pablo Maffeo, who had everything turned against him in just seconds. Ironies of life, the Argentine once again became the laughingstock of the Real Madrid fans.
The image of Jacobo running toward the fans, immersed in the collective euphoria, strongly contrasted with that of Pablo Maffeo. The player who only moments before had arrogantly celebrated a clearance. Soccer returned the Balearic full-back's provocation with a bitter defeat and a memorable victory for Real Madrid.
